Hi thanks for contacting HCM....

I think you have allergy from gluten containing diet.
So you want to avoid gluten....

Let me know you millet is free from gluten ,
But it contain goitrogens ...They are substance that suppress thyroid activity and can lead hypothyroidism...

So if you have allergy from gluten diet like wheat then use millet but not excessively.

Another gluten free staple diet can also be taken like ......
-rice
-oat ...

Hope your concern solved.

Take care .
